Orono, Maine- A minor traffic accident on Stillwater Ave. has led to a warrant arrest of one individual. Irving Stone, 59, of Bangor was arrested by Officer Watson of the Orono police on a warrant for unpaid fines after Stone had been a witness to a traffic accident that occurred at 10:10 a.m. on Thursday, April 1 just south of where Stillwater Ave. intersects with Forest Ave.
The accident occurred when a Pine Tree Waste trash truck was pulled to the side of the road on Stillwater Ave. picking up garbage from residents’ homes. Drivers in Two separate cars, whose names were not released, were stopped behind the trash truck, waiting to go around. The driver of the truck first made sure there was no oncoming traffic and then waved the cars on. The first car did not move right away, so the second car decided to go around the first car. When the second car was passing the first, the first car pulled out to go around the trash truck and the second car collided with the first and wedged the first car against the trash truck.
Officer Watson happened to be driving by when he saw the accident and pulled over to investigate. After he checked the car insurance, vehicle registrations, and took statements from both drivers, he decided to take a statement about the accident from Mr. Stone who was a Pine Tree Waste employee working on the back of the garbage truck.
When Officer Watson checked the Stone’s identification, dispatch notified the officer that there was a warrant out for Stone’s arrest from Bangor Superior Court for unpaid fines and a cash bail of $500.61. Officer Watson placed Stone under arrest in handcuffs and transported him to Penobscot County Jail where he was turned over to jail personnel.
Neither driver was seriously hurt in the accident.
